The Nest of the Turtledove (Hnizdo Horlytsi)

North American Premiere

She is a middle-aged Ukrainian migrant worker in Italy. He is an affluent Italian divorcee. And then… there is her impoverished husband and a teenage daughter back home. To make things worse, she gets pregnant by her master. What will she choose? Inequality, class and gender drive this acclaimed new drama to the heights of tension amid moral complications that seem impossible to resolve.

Q&A with the film director Taras Tkachenko, lead actress Rymma Zyubina and producers to follow.

Oleksiy Lytvynenko’s ethereal paintings combine organic representational elements with abstracted backgrounds in a way that is both decorative and modernist. His motifs include landscape, water, plants, insects, fish, and amphibians.
